I'm from (and still live and work in) Evansville, IN -Andy Timmons' hometown. I was teaching guitar at a local music store (circa 2007) and giving a lesson to a student whom I showed an Ace Frehley-sounding lick. I happened to comment that while the lick was all over the place in rock guitar, the fastest I'd ever heard it played was on an Andy Timmons tune called "Groove or Die." We gave it a listen, played the lick, and both agreed Andy played it faster than either of us would ever manage. When the lesson was over, we walked out onto the main showroom of the store only to discover than Andy was actually in the store talking to the owner (Andy was back in town to visit his dad, Gene). I told Andy that we had JUST been listening to one of his tunes and asked if he would mind showing us that particular lick at tempo; he was more than happy to oblige. Both me and my student were floored. A great memory... Andy's an amazing person and one helluva guitar player!
How dare you not even mention Andy Timmons, Andy! 😉😂😂 Both of you are very inspiring and mesmerizing to watch! The rest of us would be happy to have a quarter of the talent that each of you just displayed!
I think this happened because Mr. Big was playing in Dallas. Andy lives in McKinney and it created a good opportunity. Paul did a clinic at the place that Andy regularly plays at (Guitar Sanctuary).
I'm a depressed person but every time I see these guys talk they give me such life inside. The people who have these guys in there lives should be really greatful.
it's such a stark contrast of all the Human Potential I see on these videos and later unplugging coming back to a reality where everyone is rude greedy selfish... sometimes it's too brutal
@@davidramos4317 so I’ve got an Eastman sb59 with the Lollar Imperials and it sounds really similar to whatever Andy has…I think that’s why I like the way his neck pickup sounds so much.
2 of the most genuine chaps who just happen to be wizards of guitar. Amazing. No personal agenda, no ego, just enjoying the instrument and each other’s company.
@@theharvardyard2356 The Line Up will be: 1. Andy Timmons: guitar 2. Paul Gilbert: guitar 3. Marcus Miller: Bass 4. Vinnie Collauitta: Drums 5. Devin Townsend: Vocals😅😅😅
Andy Timmons has tone all day, and everything he plays is musical. Paul Gilbert is groovy and equally musical. Two of my all time favorites, together. Thank you.
I can't begin to tell you how cool it was to be in the room while this went on. I'm so glad Sweetwater captured this for people to see how two pros can come together with no practice and make mind blowing music with their guitars.
Just F'ing epic. Two virtuosos grooving off of each other and killing it. This is magic and what makes me love UA-cam. This kind of content is priceless.
And yet it still has the single coil flavour, with the clarity and articulation. Helped by not being over saturated, and I suspect most of all, the person playing it.
Always a breath of fresh air to see two pros pick each other's brain and show us how it's done. So glad they showed love to Trower. AND Question Mark & The Mysterians! Bill Haley jam, I believe Andy even mentions Leslie Gore. Priceless.
The level of command and mastery of the guitar is just out of this world. They can jam perfectly on the spot on any tune, any key. One pick a song and the other gets it immediately and they start a jam... I am guitar player myself. I have been playing for 20yrs and done tons of jam.... but these guys are "not of this earth" (for those who get the reference).
This is just the kind of thing that makes guitarists stop, watch and smile. Two of my favorite people just doing what they love and thankfully we get to share in that moment.
I love how they're both masters at their craft and there's still the slightest bit of vulnerability when next to another proclaimed guitar legend talking about how they approach things. Shows you that no matter how good you think you are there's always an element of feeling like not knowing it all or being caught off guard with something you're not comfortable with and room for growth and learning. I've been playing for well over a decade but still see myself as an amateur and seeing that really re-affirms that what we do as guitarists is a personal journey and there's no road-map for this thing we love
THIS is the greatest thing I've seen on UA-cam in a long time. I had the pleasure of meeting Andy at the Woodshed Guitar Experience, and he's truly a great guy with great sense of humour and incredible humility. And of course, Paul Gilbert is Paul Gilbert! Thank you, Sweetwater and Ibanez for this!
Wow- The knowledge is so deep yet right at their fingertips, on a dime, at will and at all times. That was the coolest jam I’ve ever heard. :) Hats off Andy & Paul. That was sick!
Two of my favorite guitar players that both have an enormous music vocabulary with an equal dose of respect to music, each other, and fans. The ability to call up almost any tune note for note and improvise as well, amazing.
😄 Thank you Sweetwater for this! Thank you for both of you getting together. So many levels of FUN! You both really are such beautiful souls. What a pleasure to watch MUSIC shine through both of you, with such a beautiful sense of wonder and play.
Awesome. Two of my favorite players together. Both of these guys are so down to earth and humble. What a pleasure it is to see these two giants having fun playing music together.

Max Ostro, Andy and Paul Collab in album. Could be disaster! Wow!!!

It's ALWAYS a joy and completely inspiring to hang out with Paul! He's a true virtuoso AND a fan of so much music. Good times ❤
Thanks @andytimmonsguitarx-perienc7391 for making this with us! Your joy and enthusiasm scintillates!
Good times, indeed! 😎🤘🎸
How dare you not even mention Andy Timmons, Andy! 😉😂😂
Both of you are very inspiring and mesmerizing to watch! The rest of us would be happy to have a quarter of the talent that each of you just displayed!
Thanks to you and Paul and Sweetwater for doing this. So much fun. Can't wait for quittin' time so I can get my guitar and steal some licks!
No John Jorgenson? At least sneak in lick from back on terra firma 😂
These two seriously need their own podcast, show, whatever. I’d watch every single second of it. Pure audio gold.
Paul and Andy, PLEASE do this on a regular basis!
I agree! Jams like this were one of the primary reasons I got into music in the first place.
Once a day tbh
Please please please please!!!!

Yeeaaaah!!!!❤

@@jonnehayesjr.9299Keep great music in your life 😊

Everyone can be worthy for others, mate. Its Just sometimes we dont find a feedback for our energy. Theres always another Day to try. Keep it on!
This is the best advertisement that Ibanez could possibly procure.
The tone Andy gets from that neck pickup is glorious.
You’re not wrong I ended up looking up the dimarzios lol
@@davidramos4317 so I’ve got an Eastman sb59 with the Lollar Imperials and it sounds really similar to whatever Andy has…I think that’s why I like the way his neck pickup sounds so much.
So good, it outshines Paul's tone by a mile and I'm a big fans of Paul.
I suddenly want one. That flat radius fret board! Need to feel that under the fingers… 🤤
Man Andy's tone!
2 of the most genuine chaps who just happen to be wizards of guitar. Amazing. No personal agenda, no ego, just enjoying the instrument and each other’s company.
Whoever planned this deserves a raise....they need to collab on a song ASAP 🤩🤩🤩
Deserves a raise, a one has a future is casting. This was so much fun and I just got to watch.
Forget a song, they should do an album! Fantastic chemistry

Thanks for being a part of this, @RobertKeeleyTV!
I saw them jamming at Paul's masterclass in McKinney recently, amazing.
Gotta love Paul Gilbert. So friendly and knowledgeable. He seems to make everybody feel at ease, no tension
Andy‘s tone is always killer.
Always
Always
Always.
👍
True, i never heard a bad andy's tone , always on point
Paul can’t help himself. He is a natural teacher. I’ve learned so much from him since his time with Racer X. Thanks Paul
Yups.
I think I smiled the entire video! This is what the internet should be.
Same
You know people smile all different crazy thing right?
@@dannynyima1781there’s a version of you on every reply on every comment on UA-cam.
@@dannynyima1781 I did know that! Not that crazy really
I lit up a joint watching this. And I smiled through out. What an amazing session.
It's impossible to watch this without smiling.
I’ve been giggling like a toddler since they went
“ALL SUPERNOVA” on us!
:)
Just F'ing epic. Two virtuosos grooving off of each other and killing it. This is magic and what makes me love UA-cam. This kind of content is priceless.
Andy's Tone is always on point!
Yeah that neck pickup indeed.
I got the Dimarzio Cruiser Bridge in my PRS neck position....it's perfect.@@Bendit1974
I forget who said it first, but I'm stealing it. "There's no such thing as the best guitar tone...except Andy Timmons. He has the best guitar tone."
He’s got the best tones ever
He's such a good rhythm player too
Absolute magic, love these legends
Dear lord, that Timmons LoneStar tone never fails to get loved ❤
Yeah that neck strat tone is so perfect.
Because its a humbucker!? 😆@@DomSchu
And yet it still has the single coil flavour, with the clarity and articulation. Helped by not being over saturated, and I suspect most of all, the person playing it.
Isn’t it a Lonestar Special? I believe it is. Both sounded great every time that I’ve played them.
What are you doing nowadays Mendel? I'm waiting for the next album!
Easily one of the most enjoyable videos I have watched, absolute genius from two mates just having a jam
WE WANT THIS AS A REGULAR SWEETWATER SHOW!!!
Seriously, this is one of the best things I've ever seen!
Always a breath of fresh air to see two pros pick each other's brain and show us how it's done. So glad they showed love to Trower. AND Question Mark & The Mysterians! Bill Haley jam, I believe Andy even mentions Leslie Gore. Priceless.
We need a Andy Timmons and Paul Gilbert tour!
Excellent!
And an album to go with it!
That would be amazing!!!!!!
A new G2 ?
Yes. 2 of my favourite players in the same room. Andy's tone, feel & sense of melody is godlike. Paulo Gilberto can play anything
Lol, I love how they had their Stairway to Heaven moment in there. And totally embraced it! 😁
4:39 shredway to heaven
Two good guys who deserve every good thing on the planet.
This one of the best guitar jams I ever heard online!!!!
The best half hour on UA-cam.
This is a priceless master-class //lesson for any guitarist.
No one would have the guts or the nerve to tell Paul & Andy... No Stairway! 😂 Two of the greats and even better people. Truly enjoyed watching this!
The level of command and mastery of the guitar is just out of this world. They can jam perfectly on the spot on any tune, any key. One pick a song and the other gets it immediately and they start a jam... I am guitar player myself. I have been playing for 20yrs and done tons of jam.... but these guys are "not of this earth" (for those who get the reference).
About as fun as music gets. Two giants, zero ego and a genuine enthusiasm to listen to each other to play and learn. What a joy! Cheers fella's
When they both just naturally gravitated into the Stairway To Heaven solo though! Best of the best right here!!!
Two giants in a room ❤
I can't wipe the smile off my face!!! Love these two guys!
This is the best buddy ship and chemistry I’ve ever heard. They sound super good together. Better than G3 or Petrucci guitar universe. Amazing
1000%
@ 16.00 the way AT laughing when saw PG did a rockin pick sliding, is the trully energy and historia from these two Freakin Legends!❤
Paul Gilbert is an encyclopedia of song knowledge
I love those guys more than words can tell ! Awesome playing and inspiring attitude !
How can two guys be so good, and have so much FUN, at the same time? Thanks Paul and Andy! Thanks Sweetwater More, more, more, please!
These two have amazing chemistry. Always love seeing them together.
This is just the kind of thing that makes guitarists stop, watch and smile. Two of my favorite people just doing what they love and thankfully we get to share in that moment.
The best jam session I've seen in forever. Not just trading licks, but actually meshing so well!
Paul singing over the pick scrape at 16:00 in was just too funny
More of these please!
Having both these greats chatting and jamming together is genius! Please, more like this!
I love how they're both masters at their craft and there's still the slightest bit of vulnerability when next to another proclaimed guitar legend talking about how they approach things.

What a treasure to watch these guys feed off each other. Both such great players.
Reminds me of Paul and Marty on Japanese TV back in the day, I love this format so much. Thank you. We need more videos like this.
Wow, two jenius guitarist at the same place😊
These guys need to make a record together. Two of the best.
I was searching for the Andy Timmons guitar and came upon this Master Class! Awesome
This was the most enjoyable guitar playing I have seen in a long time. This is a win for guitar lovers everywhere.
Their synergy and vibes is unmatched. Even the way they talk is so similar
Timmons has an AWESOME tone coming out of that rig!
This is pure musical connection!
Two of my absolute fav players - can not get enough of this.... thank you.
THIS is the greatest thing I've seen on UA-cam in a long time. I had the pleasure of meeting Andy at the Woodshed Guitar Experience, and he's truly a great guy with great sense of humour and incredible humility. And of course, Paul Gilbert is Paul Gilbert! Thank you, Sweetwater and Ibanez for this!
Had the pleasure of meeting both of them before. Most down to earth players, goals made meeting both of your hero’s
That was awesome guys!!! Can’t get over Andy’s tone and phrasing.
This what you call seasoned musicians...period.
Wow- The knowledge is so deep yet right at their fingertips, on a dime, at will and at all times. That was the coolest jam I’ve ever heard. :) Hats off Andy & Paul. That was sick!
This is what two Master Guitar Players look like! Amazing playing!
This is the best thing I've ever seen or heard...anywhere.
We will never see another moment that has two of the most enthusiastic musicians again.
They are soo into doing what they do!
Deadly stuff.
Wonderfull jam
Oh lord. This might be the best thing on UA-cam. Just amazing.
This is crazy. Man! Talent and decades of experience at their finest.
Two of my favorite guitar players that both have an enormous music vocabulary with an equal dose of respect to music, each other, and fans. The ability to call up almost any tune note for note and improvise as well, amazing.
Honestly, my two favorite guitar players of all time... thanks Sweetwater! 🙏🔥🔥
Love these dudes! How could you not.
Thank you!! Who needs a singer with these two playing guitar?
Great greater two great musicians
Two of the BEST ears and playing talents ever just having fun and being amazing. Yep, I'm good watching for the next 33 minutes.
The best manner of relaying/exchanging knowledge and skill: relaxed, amongst friends, laughter, focused joy. Proper connectivity.
😄 Thank you Sweetwater for this! Thank you for both of you getting together. So many levels of FUN! You both really are such beautiful souls. What a pleasure to watch MUSIC shine through both of you, with such a beautiful sense of wonder and play.
This was so fun to watch. Two masters just jamming showing great respect for each other and no egos. Need more of this on UA-cam!
The best video EVER put out by Sweetwater, these guys are amazing to watch and listen, their interaction is addicting.
This is what you call greatness my friends. Watching two experienced guitar players jam to some legendary songs..
Paul Gilbert has a HUGE cabinet with all songs ever written sorted alphabetically and by release-date and categorized by chord progression.
WHAT?! Fr?! Where did you see that?
@@virantify I meant in his head 🤣
@@sansubr Ohhhh 😅
Thia has always been my gilbert head cannon
This is a piece of history we are watching
Awesome. Two of my favorite players together. Both of these guys are so down to earth and humble. What a pleasure it is to see these two giants having fun playing music together.
I'm speechless!.just 🔥
The chemistry between these two is undeniable! What an amazing video ! And the sound is supreme 👏🏻
This was so freaking entertaining it left me begging for more.
Best thing I’ve seen on the Internet in a while 🙌🙌🙌
When they are singing and playing and then Paul sings the pick slide! hahaha Pure joy!
This is a blessing from God of Guitars, these two legends should make an album, I mean the chemistry is there
So much fun to watch! More of these jams please!
That jam was pure gold. 😎🎶
The musical "conversation" is outstanding; especially the last jam. ❤️🔥
Two of my idols!! Wow this is a blast to watch! Both phenomenal and yet so down to earth sweet guys!! Amazing
Oh man, so much experience in their playing. Just awesome and impressive!
1:28 Andy Timmons casually dropping the weezer riff

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMENT
@@restlessbean4635it made it sound nice tho at the end😂
